Title: Favorite pliers
Post by: john k on January 08, 2017, 10:56:58 PM
Have seemed to accumulate pliers, Wilde brand in particular.   The top 3 are Wilde, fairly old to fairly recent.  Bottom is Craftsman, made by who?  Had several Wilde that were rebranded by MAC.

Wilde of KCMO moved to Hiawatha Ks around 1950.  Still there.

  A bit hard to tell from the pics but those Craftsman's look like they could be Wilde production, if so they would have a (P inside a circle) mark. The other possibility would be Western Forge which would be marked WF.

I seem to keep accumulating CeeTee and JP Danielson pliers.

Is hard not to accumulate Cee Tee pliers.
Didn't they come in GM tool kits?

Vlchek made the pliers and wrenches for most of The GM toolkits. Mkaig Hatch however made the early 1928-1941 pliers, took months of searching for them. Probably sifted through 100 CeeTee's before I found them.
